Quickr Domino Customisation Samples Template

Posted by Steve Castledine on January 4, 2010

The Quickr Domino Customisation Samples
Template is designed to assist users to start customising Quickr Domino
Places and has been contributed by Fergal Mckenna.. You can download it
from the Apache catalog here.

Each folder is broken down into the
6 different areas of customising with explanations and samples of how to
customise in each area.

Example of a Folder covering a HTML
form:

The areas covered by the template include:Simple Forms: How a standard
Simple Form works, What are the different types of workflow that can be
used with Simple forms and then how Versioning works..

Microsoft Office Forms: How to
create Microsoft Office forms and an example of MS Word, Excel and PowerPoint
forms

HTML Forms: How to create a HTML
form in Quickr and examples of what can be done. Examples included are

Photo form where a photo is displayed
when published rather than just seen as an attached file.

Video form which plays an attached flash-compatible
Video.

Feed form, which can display an RSS
or ATOM feed.

Audio form, a published page can have
audio files played from the page.

WebCam form, this published page can
launch a connected webcam so that a user can take a snapshot and then save
it.

PlaceBots: Placebots which are
triggered when a document is getting submitted or is triggered from a Schedule.

OnSubmission: This Placebot is triggered
when a Simple Form is submitted, it will take data(Company Name) from the
form and create a new folder. The method for creating the new folder is
that it takes a copy of a previously created folder and uses this to create
the new folder. This allows for an easy way to upgrade if the Quickr folder
structure is changed by the development team. Simply create a new folder
and use it as the template for creating the new folders. The Placebot also
moves the page published with the Simple form into the new folder.

Scheduled: Each night a Placebot runs
which checks the pages to see if a page is Active or InActive, If there
is InActive pages then an email is sent to a nominated person and informs
them to amend the InActive pages.

Extended JavaScript: The extended
javascript file quickr81_ext.js which loads in the browser after the Theme
files have been loaded is used to add Tagging to a Quickr Place.

Themes: There are 2 themes used
in the Place, Theme one has some simple customisation (images, colour,
icons...etc) and Theme two is the same as Theme one with some advanced
customisation (content on the left "lotusColLeft" moved to the
right side).
